The transformation of the Cuban social economic model has caused major changes in all sectors of society, for which reason it has been necessary to carry out transformations in Technical and Professional Education aimed at training competent mid-level professionals. This article presents the result obtained from an investigation that addresses the professional improvement of the teacher guide of the agricultural polytechnic school to provide a solution to the cognitive needs that are currently presented in the training of the agricultural medium technician in the context of the agricultural polytechnic school-labor entity. The objective: To propose a Professional Development Program that contributes to the transformation of the professional development of the guide teacher for the training of the Middle Technician in the current training context. The dialectical-materialist method is adopted and the qualitative methodological path is assumed. The main results focus on the content of the professional development of the guide teacher, where their functions are specified, the appropriate procedure to fulfill their role in the current circumstances of training of the agricultural medium technician and the Professional Development Program. The developed Program constituted a novel contribution for pedagogical practice given its adaptability to satisfy other fields of professional improvement of the teacher in the Cuban education system.
